Abstract: 20,764. Snyers, R. Nov. 28, 1911, [Convention date]. Void. [Published under Section 91 of the Act.] Track apparatus actuating signals on trains and for stopping trains. - Valves controlling brake apparatus or passing air to a reservoir from which signalling-devices are supplied for a certain time, are actuated by the engagement, with fixed or movable inclined planes on the track of brushlike devices 3 fixed on pivoted levers 7 which may be connected to valve levers 4 in various ways. The angle at which the levers 7 rest is such that when moving in the direction of the arrow H, Fig. 1, engagement of the brush 3 with an accidental obstacle tends to lower the lever 7 but a lifting movement is derived from the ramp 11. In order to avoid accidental application of the brakes, two valves and operating-levers are provided which must be actuated simultaneously in order to apply the brakes or pass air to the reservoir 2, which is connected to cab signals or indicators. Pistons 6, continually subjected to pressure, serve to reset the brush levers 7.

Abstract: 23,344. Palmer, F. Oct. 12. Explosions, preventing in mines and in connexion with electric apparatus.-In devices for preventing explosions in mines due to the damage or sparking of electric cables, motors, lamps, &c., of the kind in which such apparatus is enclosed in air-tight casings and pipes supplied with compressed air, switches controlling the electric supply are adapted to open when the pressure falls and to re-close when the pressure is restored. The lamps 1, Fig. 4, are enclosed in a globe 2, and compressed air is supplied through a pipe 15, enclosing the cables, to a compartment 7, and thence through a tube 14 to a compartment 8 communicating through a perforated base 3 with the globe 2, a flexible diaphragm 12 carrying contacts 13 being thus raised to close the circuit. A lightly-loaded valve 18 allows the escape of any air leaking into the compartment above the diaphragm. Fig. 2 shows a switch-box containing a pivoted double-pole switch 40 controlled by means of a spring 42 and a pneumatic piston 39. Compressed air is supplied to a compartment 26, and thence through a tube 36 to a compartment 28, a valve 44 permitting the escape of any air leaking into the central compartment 27. The casings surrounding the motors are provided with a vent, in order to ensure a gradual change of air.

Abstract: 23,500. Fairweather, W. C., [Underwood, J. T.]. Oct. 15. Adding - apparatus. -In key-set motoroperated attachments for typewriters, more particularly of t h e Underwood - Hanson kind, the paper-carriage, when returned to the right for a new line, automatically connects the motor with the main operator for registration of the item last set. Operating by motors. - A continuously - running motor 1, Fig. 1, drives, through a safety friction clutch (not shown) a worm 31, and thence, through a worm-wheel 30 and clutch mechanism, rotates a shaft 24 from which movement is conveyed by a crank-and-slider mechanism 23, 26 to an arm engaging a fork 14 upon the frame of a main operating rack-bar. At the end of one revolution, declutching automatically occurs by reason of the abutment of a lug 41 upon a clutch member against a latch 40, whereby, also, the parts are maintained normally unclutched. A special key 42 is provided for raising the latch at any time. Attachments to typewriters.-An adjustable margin gauge 135, 134, Fig. 2, is mounted so as to be set in desired position upon the serrated front rail 127 of the carriage supports, a margin stop 133 for arrest thereby being provided upon the carriage. The gauge passes freely along a shaft 126 mounted in the framework of the typewriter and carries with it an arm 124, Fig. 4<a>, which has a lug taking into a key-way along the top of this shaft and has also a bevelled tappet 123 for co-operation with a projection 120 upon the carriage. As the carriage moves to the right, the bevelled tappet, which is suitably pivoted upon the arm and controlled by springs, is forced downwards, rocking the arm and its shaft 126, and thence, through link-work 129, 130, depressing the latch pin momentarily so that one revolution of the clutch members is ensured, and allowing the latch pin to rise again as the carriage passes on to its extreme position as defined by the margin gauge. The margin stop is pivotally attached to the carriage so that it may be displaced if it is required to write in the margin. As the carriage returns the bevelled tappet rotates upon its pivot without depressing its arm. Selecting denomination. - Arms 93, Fig. 1, extending rearwards from the typewriter carriage carry a tappet 95 for causing the depression, in turn, of rods 98 which effect the elevation of the rear ends of the actuating rack-bars 103, so that the stops thereon may come within reach of the key-operated numeral-selecting bars 114.
